Description :

In Ansible Automation Platform 2.5, Job Templates use numerical IDs. This causes issues when using multiple AAP instances (e.g., production and non-production), as these IDs can overlap across environments. This overlap can lead to confusion, misidentification, or errors during synchronization or comparisons.

We suggest switching from numerical IDs to UUIDs (or another globally unique format) to avoid ID conflicts, improve traceability, and make cross-environment automation more reliable.

Business Impact:

Using numerical IDs increases the risk of deployment errors and confusion when syncing or comparing environments. Switching to UUIDs would make AAP safer and more scalable for organizations running multiple instances.
